Description

I moved bootloader_ofw.pm into bootloader.pm, there is various boot code on different places.
I guess all this code can be made better, simpler and easier to read ideally on one place.
Also mess with needle tags.

Not sure who will have time and will to work on this,
created for matter of sake.

PS: This can affect every arch and distro, no idea what Subject tags to choose, all ?

Good idea. I took #11948 and started working on refactoring the bootloader code. I guess I can do some improvements and then we can see who continues.

Maybe before this we should consider to fully move from legacy -boot order to bootindex
bootindex also with bootorder order setup, because right now we have only defined what will be the first device to boot from
This boot order would also partially fix the ppc64le issue with migration, but I did choose easier -boot workaround than enhancement of bootindex
I don't know about reason why still use -boot, it's only complication for us/qemu.pm

I assume you reset the status of the ticket by responding to an email and not intentional So I am setting it again to what I set the values to previously.

Now that the blocking tickets are resolved I can continue with this one but now my ppc64le worker is not currently usable, see #19122

subticket #26836 solved, \o/

With https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/997 bootindex is now used where possible. I guess the rest is left to evolvement over time to refactor indidvidual test modules and files.
